Inglês Mairo Vergara 3 Jack and The Beanstalk | Texto
Completo

Once upon a time there lived a poor widow and her son
Jack. One day, Jack’s mother told him to sell their only cow.
Jack went to the market and on the way he met a man who
wanted to buy his cow. Jack asked, "What will you give me
in return for my cow?" The man answered, "I will give you
five magic beans!" Jack took the magic beans and gave the
man the cow. But when he reached home, Jack’s mother
was very angry. She said, "You fool! He took away your cow
and gave you some beans!" She threw the beans out of the
window.
Jack was very sad and went to sleep without dinner. The
next day, when Jack woke up in the morning and looked
out of the window, he saw that a huge beanstalk had
grown from his magic beans! He climbed up the beanstalk
and reached a kingdom in the sky. There lived a giant and
his wife. Jack went inside the house and found the giant’s
wife in the kitchen. Jack said, "Could you please give me
something to eat? I am so hungry!" The kind wife gave him
bread and some milk. While he was eating, the giant came
home.
The giant was very big and looked very fearsome. Jack was
terrified and went and hid inside. The giant cried, “Fee-fi-
fo-fum, I smell the blood of a boy. Dead or alive, I’ll grind
his bones to make my bread!”, but the wife said, “There is
2

no boy in here!” So, the giant ate his food and then went
to his room. He took out his sacks of gold coins, counted
them and kept them aside. Then he went to sleep. In the
night, Jack crept out of his hiding place, took one sack of
gold coins and climbed down the beanstalk.
At home, he gave the coins to his mother. His mother was
very happy and they lived well for sometime. A few days
later, Jack once again climbed the beanstalk and went to
the giant’s house. Jack asked the giant’s wife for food, but
while he was eating the giant returned. Jack then hid under
the bed. The giant cried, "Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood
of a boy. Dead or alive, I’ll grind his bones to make my
bread!" The wife again said, "There is no boy in here!" The
giant ate his food and went to his room. There, he took out
a hen. He shouted, "Lay!" and the hen laid a golden egg.
When the giant fell asleep, Jack took the hen and climbed
down the beanstalk. Jack’s mother was very happy with
him. After some days, Jack once again climbed the
beanstalk and went to the giant’s castle. For the third time,
Jack met the giant’s wife and asked for some food. Once
again, the giant’s wife gave him bread and milk. But while
Jack was eating, the giant came home. "Fee-fi-fo-fum, I
smell the blood of a boy. Dead or alive, I’ll grind his bones
to make my bread!" cried the giant. "Don’t be silly! There
is no boy in here!" said his wife.
The giant had a magical harp that could play beautiful
songs. While the giant slept, Jack took the harp and was
about to leave. Suddenly, the magic harp cried, "Help
3

master! A boy is stealing me!" The giant woke up and saw


Jack with the harp. Furious, he ran after Jack. But Jack was
too fast for him. He ran down the beanstalk and reached
home. The giant followed him down. Jack quickly ran inside
his house and fetched an axe. He began to chop the
beanstalk. The giant fell and died. Jack and his mother
were now very rich and they lived happily ever after.
